Corporal Punishment:
Legal Reform as a Route
to Changing Norms
THE TERM “HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES” TYPICALLY BRINGS TO MIND CHILD
marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting, and so-called “honor kill-
ings,” but rarely corporal punishment. Yet corporal punishment is
arguably the most pervasive harmful traditional practice children expe-
rience today. In nearly every part of the world, parents use physical
punishment to “discipline” their children. Such corporal punishment
typically takes the form of hitting a child with a bare hand or an object
such as a stick or paddle. A 2014 survey found that four of every five
children between the ages of two and 14—an estimated 1 billion glob-
ally—experience physical punishment in their home on a regular basis
(UNICEF 2014, 96).
The practice of corporal punishment is rooted in both cultural
norms and religious belief. Parents often believe that corporal pun-
ishment will teach children good behavior. They hit their children be-
cause it is socially accepted and because they themselves often were
hit growing up. Some religious teachings appear to justify the prac-
tice.1 The adage “spare the rod, spoil the child,” rooted in the Old Tes-
tament Book of Proverbs, suggests not only that corporal pun.
Database Project Charter/Business Case

Introduction
A database is an electronic collection of data that is built by a user so that they can access, update particular information in the database coherently or rapidly. Today firms employ integrated technology to increase their capacity to serve more clients, keep information well or effectively, organize activities according to the urgency or priorities, accounting records (Tüttelmann F, 2015). Most of the integrated technology depends on multiple databases that supply information relevant in making the decision. Since the business started using databases, their performance increase because the business decisions they make are sound and practical.
Business Problem
The supply chain management is one of the most complicated processes in the business and often at times due to need of detail it gets hard for the supply chain manager to keep the record of the work covered effectively, have enough data to make the decision and also have enough data to monitor the chain of operation (William, 2019). The supply chain has been so crucial for the business because it determines the performance of the company in the industry by assessing the quality of the product produced in the organization, cost of production, the time and effectiveness of distribution network, and overall production operation of the organization.
Operation management has been named as the leading cause of business failure caused by a lack of a system, which the manager or the supervisor can use to monitor the whole system. This is the problem to solve using the database (William, 2019). Using a database, the manager can observe or watch the entire chain from their office, make better decisions by fore- planning approach of the database also make changes within the system when there is the need to cut costs or making the process effective.
Project Scope
Most business organizations are spread in operation, and this is the challenge that makes the supply chain management complex (Tüttelmann F, 2015). This is because the chain is in different localities, and therefore, coordination of operation among the user or the workers becomes a challenge. Through the database system, the business will enjoy proper coordination using the wide Area Network (LAN). Through the LAN network, the company can link computers and cost-effectively share data and communication. Through this system, the company will have a connection and coordination of the processes within the organization. The number of connected devices will range from 10 to 1000, depending on the type of tools and system that is set to facilitate this connection.
Goals and objectives of the system
The purpose of the system that I want to install in the supply chain management is to;
· Monitoring of the supply chain- the system will enable the manager to monitor the system and every process in the order (Gattor.

Corporal Punishment:
Legal Reform as a Route
to Changing Norms
THE TERM “HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES” TYPICALLY BRINGS TO MIND CHILD
marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting, and so-called “honor kill-
ings,” but rarely corporal punishment. Yet corporal punishment is
arguably the most pervasive harmful traditional practice children expe-
rience today. In nearly every part of the world, parents use physical
punishment to “discipline” their children. Such corporal punishment
typically takes the form of hitting a child with a bare hand or an object
such as a stick or paddle. A 2014 survey found that four of every five
children between the ages of two and 14—an estimated 1 billion glob-
ally—experience physical punishment in their home on a regular basis
(UNICEF 2014, 96).
The practice of corporal punishment is rooted in both cultural
norms and religious belief. Parents often believe that corporal pun-
ishment will teach children good behavior. They hit their children be-
cause it is socially accepted and because they themselves often were
hit growing up. Some religious teachings appear to justify the prac-
tice.1 The adage “spare the rod, spoil the child,” rooted in the Old Tes-
tament Book of Proverbs, suggests not only that corporal pun.
Database Project Charter/Business Case

Introduction
A database is an electronic collection of data that is built by a user so that they can access, update particular information in the database coherently or rapidly. Today firms employ integrated technology to increase their capacity to serve more clients, keep information well or effectively, organize activities according to the urgency or priorities, accounting records (Tüttelmann F, 2015). Most of the integrated technology depends on multiple databases that supply information relevant in making the decision. Since the business started using databases, their performance increase because the business decisions they make are sound and practical.
Business Problem
The supply chain management is one of the most complicated processes in the business and often at times due to need of detail it gets hard for the supply chain manager to keep the record of the work covered effectively, have enough data to make the decision and also have enough data to monitor the chain of operation (William, 2019). The supply chain has been so crucial for the business because it determines the performance of the company in the industry by assessing the quality of the product produced in the organization, cost of production, the time and effectiveness of distribution network, and overall production operation of the organization.
Operation management has been named as the leading cause of business failure caused by a lack of a system, which the manager or the supervisor can use to monitor the whole system. This is the problem to solve using the database (William, 2019). Using a database, the manager can observe or watch the entire chain from their office, make better decisions by fore- planning approach of the database also make changes within the system when there is the need to cut costs or making the process effective.
Project Scope
Most business organizations are spread in operation, and this is the challenge that makes the supply chain management complex (Tüttelmann F, 2015). This is because the chain is in different localities, and therefore, coordination of operation among the user or the workers becomes a challenge. Through the database system, the business will enjoy proper coordination using the wide Area Network (LAN). Through the LAN network, the company can link computers and cost-effectively share data and communication. Through this system, the company will have a connection and coordination of the processes within the organization. The number of connected devices will range from 10 to 1000, depending on the type of tools and system that is set to facilitate this connection.
Goals and objectives of the system
The purpose of the system that I want to install in the supply chain management is to;
· Monitoring of the supply chain- the system will enable the manager to monitor the system and every process in the order (Gattor.

Kraft Reformulates Oreo, Scores in China
Julie Jargon. Wall Street Journal. (Eastern edition). New York, N.Y.: May 1, 2008. pg. B.1
Abstract (Summary)
Kraft, the world's second largest food company by revenue, reported a 13% drop in first-quarter net income Wednesday
because of high commodity costs and increased spending on product research and marketing. Television commercials
showed kids twisting apart Oreo cookies, licking the cream center and dipping the chocolate cookie halves into glasses of
milk.

Unlike its iconic American counterpart, the Oreo sold in China is frequently long, thin, four-layered and coated in chocolate. But
both kinds of cookies have one important thing in common: They are now best sellers.
The Oreo has long been the top-selling cookie in the U.S. market. But Kraft Foods Inc. had to reinvent the Oreo to make it sell
well in the world's most populous nation. While Chinese Oreo sales represent a tiny fraction of Kraft's $37.2 billion in annual
revenue, the cookie's journey in China exemplifies the kind of entrepreneurial transformation that Chief Executive Irene
Rosenfeld is trying to spread throughout the food giant.
Kraft, the world's second largest food company by revenue, reported a 13% drop in first-quarter net income Wednesday
because of high commodity costs and increased spending on product research and marketing. Its international business,
which now represents 40% of Kraft's revenue thanks to the company's recent acquisition of Groupe Danone's biscuits
business, was a bright spot in the quarter, aided by the weak dollar. Kraft's profit in the European Union rose 48%, excluding
special charges, and its profit in developing markets rose 57%.
To try to increase growth at the company, Ms. Rosenfeld has been putting more power in the hands of Kraft's various
business units around the globe, telling employees that decisions about Kraft products shouldn't all be made by people at the
Northfield, Ill., headquarters.
To take advantage of the European preference for dark chocolate, Kraft is introducing dark chocolate in Germany under its
Milka brand. Research in Russia showed that consumers there like premium instant coffee, so Kraft is positioning its Carte
Noire freeze-dried coffee as upscale by placing it at film festivals, fashion shows and operas. And in the Philippines, where
iced tea is popular, Kraft last year launched iced-tea-flavored Tang. Ms. Rosenfeld has also been encouraging marketers to
"reframe" product categories, no longer thinking, for example, that an Oreo has to be a round sandwich cookie.
Oreos were first introduced in 1912 in the U.S., but it wasn't until 1996 that Kraft introduced Oreos to Chinese consumers.
Nine years later, a makeover began. Shawn Warren, a 37-year-old .

Database System Overview
1.1 Business Environment
Office Depot, Inc is an American retail store company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Florida, United States. The company provides office and school supplies with 1400 retail stores and e-commerce sites. The supply includes everything to their customer like latest technology, core school and office supplies, printing and documenting service, furniture and other services like cell phone repair, tech and marketing service etc.
Recently there were too many complaints from existing and new customer that the online site is super glitch and lagging. Another customer posted that the delivery did not come on the scheduled day. And they cannot track down the order because the website does not have tracking information. Also when the website is down, customer service cannot help to see the order details either and therefore, they feel it’s frustrating to order online and therefore want to cancel the order. One other customer posted in the website grievance section that the “label maker” showed available in the stock even though it was out of stock when verified with the customer service representative. With every product not in stock, we lose opportunity of sale which costs the store. This not only affect customer but also affect company. We are so dependent on the data, most of the time staff has to correct accounting report, sales estimates and invoice customer manually which is very time-consuming in an excel sheet.
In order to solve above issues and avoid sales loss, Office Depot must have a database to store and maintain correct count of the products. This database will help inventory management i.e. tracking products, update inventory, find popular or less popular item, loss prevention, track inventory status and perform data mining. The staff can access this database via a computerized database. (Gerald H., Importance of inventory database retail)1.2 Database system goals and objective
The mission of the company is to become number one retail company by creating inclusive environment and great shopping experience where both customer and employees are respected and valued. To achieve the retail store mission, we are committed to provide secure and robust data base system for ou.
Database Security Assessment Transcript You are a contracting office.docxwhittemorelucilla
Database Security Assessment Transcript You are a contracting officer's technical representative, a Security System Engineer, at a military hospital. Your department's leaders are adopting a new medical health care database management system. And they've tasked you to create a request for proposal for which different vendors will compete to build and provide to the hospital. A Request For Proposal, or RFP, is when an organization sends out a request for estimates on performing a function, delivering a technology, or providing a service or augmenting staff. RFPs are tailored to each endeavor but have common components and are important in the world of IT contracting and for procurement and acquisitions. To complete the RFP, you must determine the technical and security specifications for the system. You'll write the requirements for the overall system and also provide evaluation standards that will be used in rating the vendor's performance. Your learning will help you determine your system's requirements. As you discover methods of attack, you'll write prevention and remediation requirements for the vendor to perform. You must identify the different vulnerabilities the database should be hardened against.
Modern healthcare systems incorporate databases for effective and efficient management of patient healthcare. Databases are vulnerable to cyberattacks and must be designed and built with security controls from the beginning of the life cycle. Although hardening the database early in the life cycle is better, security is often incorporated after deployment, forcing hospital and healthcare IT professionals to play catch-up. Database security requirements should be defined at the requirements stage of acquisition and procurement.
System security engineers and other acquisition personnel can effectively assist vendors in building better healthcare database systems by specifying security requirements up front within the request for proposal (RFP). In this project, you will be developing an RFP for a new medical healthcare database management system.
Parts of your deliverables will be developed through your learning lab. You will submit the following deliverables for this project:
Deliverables
• An RFP, about 10 to 12 pages, in the form of a double-spaced Word document with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures, diagrams, tables, or citations. There is no penalty for using additional pages. Include a minimum of six references. Include a reference list with the report.
• An MS-Excel spreadsheet with lab results.
There are 11 steps in this project. You will begin with the workplace scenario and continue with Step 1: "Provide an Overview for Vendors."
Step 1: Provide an Overview for Vendors
As the contracting officer's technical representative (COTR), you are the liaison between your hospital and potential vendors. It is your duty to provide vendors with an overview of your organization. To do so, identify infor.

ABSTRACT
A large amount of data needed in decision-making processes is
stored in the XML data format, which is widely used for e-
commerce and Internet-based information exchange. Thus, as
more organizations view the web as an integral part of their
communication and business, the importance of integrating XML
data in data warehousing environments is becoming increasingly
high. In this paper we show how the design of a data mart can be
carried out starting directly from an XML source. Two main
issues arise: on the one hand, since XML models semi-structured
data, not all the information needed for design can be safely
derived; on the other, different approaches for representing
relationships in XML DTDs and Schemas are possible, each with
different expressive power. After discussing these issues, we
propose a semi-automatic approach for building the conceptual
schema for a data mart starting from the XML sources.

Kraft Reformulates Oreo, Scores in China
Julie Jargon. Wall Street Journal. (Eastern edition). New York, N.Y.: May 1, 2008. pg. B.1
Abstract (Summary)
Kraft, the world's second largest food company by revenue, reported a 13% drop in first-quarter net income Wednesday
because of high commodity costs and increased spending on product research and marketing. Television commercials
showed kids twisting apart Oreo cookies, licking the cream center and dipping the chocolate cookie halves into glasses of
milk.

Unlike its iconic American counterpart, the Oreo sold in China is frequently long, thin, four-layered and coated in chocolate. But
both kinds of cookies have one important thing in common: They are now best sellers.
The Oreo has long been the top-selling cookie in the U.S. market. But Kraft Foods Inc. had to reinvent the Oreo to make it sell
well in the world's most populous nation. While Chinese Oreo sales represent a tiny fraction of Kraft's $37.2 billion in annual
revenue, the cookie's journey in China exemplifies the kind of entrepreneurial transformation that Chief Executive Irene
Rosenfeld is trying to spread throughout the food giant.
Kraft, the world's second largest food company by revenue, reported a 13% drop in first-quarter net income Wednesday
because of high commodity costs and increased spending on product research and marketing. Its international business,
which now represents 40% of Kraft's revenue thanks to the company's recent acquisition of Groupe Danone's biscuits
business, was a bright spot in the quarter, aided by the weak dollar. Kraft's profit in the European Union rose 48%, excluding
special charges, and its profit in developing markets rose 57%.
To try to increase growth at the company, Ms. Rosenfeld has been putting more power in the hands of Kraft's various
business units around the globe, telling employees that decisions about Kraft products shouldn't all be made by people at the
Northfield, Ill., headquarters.
To take advantage of the European preference for dark chocolate, Kraft is introducing dark chocolate in Germany under its
Milka brand. Research in Russia showed that consumers there like premium instant coffee, so Kraft is positioning its Carte
Noire freeze-dried coffee as upscale by placing it at film festivals, fashion shows and operas. And in the Philippines, where
iced tea is popular, Kraft last year launched iced-tea-flavored Tang. Ms. Rosenfeld has also been encouraging marketers to
"reframe" product categories, no longer thinking, for example, that an Oreo has to be a round sandwich cookie.
Oreos were first introduced in 1912 in the U.S., but it wasn't until 1996 that Kraft introduced Oreos to Chinese consumers.
Nine years later, a makeover began. Shawn Warren, a 37-year-old .

Database System Overview
1.1 Business Environment
Office Depot, Inc is an American retail store company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Florida, United States. The company provides office and school supplies with 1400 retail stores and e-commerce sites. The supply includes everything to their customer like latest technology, core school and office supplies, printing and documenting service, furniture and other services like cell phone repair, tech and marketing service etc.
Recently there were too many complaints from existing and new customer that the online site is super glitch and lagging. Another customer posted that the delivery did not come on the scheduled day. And they cannot track down the order because the website does not have tracking information. Also when the website is down, customer service cannot help to see the order details either and therefore, they feel it’s frustrating to order online and therefore want to cancel the order. One other customer posted in the website grievance section that the “label maker” showed available in the stock even though it was out of stock when verified with the customer service representative. With every product not in stock, we lose opportunity of sale which costs the store. This not only affect customer but also affect company. We are so dependent on the data, most of the time staff has to correct accounting report, sales estimates and invoice customer manually which is very time-consuming in an excel sheet.
In order to solve above issues and avoid sales loss, Office Depot must have a database to store and maintain correct count of the products. This database will help inventory management i.e. tracking products, update inventory, find popular or less popular item, loss prevention, track inventory status and perform data mining. The staff can access this database via a computerized database. (Gerald H., Importance of inventory database retail)1.2 Database system goals and objective
The mission of the company is to become number one retail company by creating inclusive environment and great shopping experience where both customer and employees are respected and valued. To achieve the retail store mission, we are committed to provide secure and robust data base system for ou.
Database Security Assessment Transcript You are a contracting office.docxwhittemorelucilla
Database Security Assessment Transcript You are a contracting officer's technical representative, a Security System Engineer, at a military hospital. Your department's leaders are adopting a new medical health care database management system. And they've tasked you to create a request for proposal for which different vendors will compete to build and provide to the hospital. A Request For Proposal, or RFP, is when an organization sends out a request for estimates on performing a function, delivering a technology, or providing a service or augmenting staff. RFPs are tailored to each endeavor but have common components and are important in the world of IT contracting and for procurement and acquisitions. To complete the RFP, you must determine the technical and security specifications for the system. You'll write the requirements for the overall system and also provide evaluation standards that will be used in rating the vendor's performance. Your learning will help you determine your system's requirements. As you discover methods of attack, you'll write prevention and remediation requirements for the vendor to perform. You must identify the different vulnerabilities the database should be hardened against.
Modern healthcare systems incorporate databases for effective and efficient management of patient healthcare. Databases are vulnerable to cyberattacks and must be designed and built with security controls from the beginning of the life cycle. Although hardening the database early in the life cycle is better, security is often incorporated after deployment, forcing hospital and healthcare IT professionals to play catch-up. Database security requirements should be defined at the requirements stage of acquisition and procurement.
System security engineers and other acquisition personnel can effectively assist vendors in building better healthcare database systems by specifying security requirements up front within the request for proposal (RFP). In this project, you will be developing an RFP for a new medical healthcare database management system.
Parts of your deliverables will be developed through your learning lab. You will submit the following deliverables for this project:
Deliverables
• An RFP, about 10 to 12 pages, in the form of a double-spaced Word document with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures, diagrams, tables, or citations. There is no penalty for using additional pages. Include a minimum of six references. Include a reference list with the report.
• An MS-Excel spreadsheet with lab results.
There are 11 steps in this project. You will begin with the workplace scenario and continue with Step 1: "Provide an Overview for Vendors."
Step 1: Provide an Overview for Vendors
As the contracting officer's technical representative (COTR), you are the liaison between your hospital and potential vendors. It is your duty to provide vendors with an overview of your organization. To do so, identify infor.

ABSTRACT
A large amount of data needed in decision-making processes is
stored in the XML data format, which is widely used for e-
commerce and Internet-based information exchange. Thus, as
more organizations view the web as an integral part of their
communication and business, the importance of integrating XML
data in data warehousing environments is becoming increasingly
high. In this paper we show how the design of a data mart can be
carried out starting directly from an XML source. Two main
issues arise: on the one hand, since XML models semi-structured
data, not all the information needed for design can be safely
derived; on the other, different approaches for representing
relationships in XML DTDs and Schemas are possible, each with
different expressive power. After discussing these issues, we
propose a semi-automatic approach for building the conceptual

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

FS A-BIII. Optimizing PerformanceFor the Lodi Winery, you
have been asked by management to examine the data collected
and analyzed in the previous modules. The objective is for you
to help management decide on the right mix of wine bottles to
sell based on newly derived profit information while
considering the limitations of the particular types of grapes
available for production.
While doing more research on wine production, you realize that
it takes 3.5 pounds of grapes to make a bottle of wine. In
addition, you already were provided the price per bottle that the
distributors are paying for each variety of wine:
Price for Red Wine ($)Price for White Wine ($)Price for
Organic Wine ($)7.5812After discussing wine production with
the operations manager, you also learn that the wineries that
supply the grapes to produce the above types of wine can
produce up to a total of 200,000 pounds of grapes for a six-
month supply of wine bottles for the three markets, with the
15. following expected distribution based on types of grapes:Red
wine ceiling22,000 bottlesWhite wine ceiling24,000
bottlesOrganic wine ceiling12,000 bottlesNote that the
production cost per bottle remains the same as before, that is,
32% of sales or revenue for red wine, 42.5% of sales for white
wine, and 52.5% for organic wine. With additional information
you have gathered, you are now ready to determine the optimum
production mix to maximize profit.
